HENRY H. HUNTER, OF MILLERSBURG, KENTUCKY.

FORCE-PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 249,054, dated November 1, 1881.

Application filed July 25, 1881. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY H. HUNTER, of Millersburg, Bourbon county, Kentucky, have invented a new and Improved Force-Pump, of which the following is a specification.

The invention consists in the combination, with a vertical pump provided with a horizontal extension or discharge pipe, of a receiving box or chamber provided with a vertical discharge-pipe, and secured over the valved opening of the horizontal extension disch argepipe; and it consists, further, of a foot projecting below the pump-cylinder for the purpose of holding the latter above the bottom of a well or cistern, all of which will be hereinafter set forth.

Figure l is a side elevation of the improved pump. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of a portion of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on line 00 m, Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, A represents a post or stock, to which the porcelain-lined pump-cylinder B is secured by straps to and b, the latter of which serves as a saddle to support the cylinder B B, and is prolonged into or has attached a foot, 0, that extends below the said cylinder B, for the purpose of supporting the whole apparatus on the bottom of a well or cistern.

The strap a consists of a bent rod, a, haying screw threaded ends, and a perforated plate, a held on said ends by nuts a on removing which nuts a the plate a and rod a may be separated and removed, and then, on separating the receiving-box Gr from the pipe B, said pipe and the cylinder B may be removed from stock A.

In the bottom of the cylinder B is a supply-port, 6?, controlled by a valve, 0. and over this port (I, outside thereof, is fixed a conical screen, D, to prevent the choking of thevalve G by foreign substances, said screen D being secured to the cylinderB by bolts 0, one ofwhich being withdrawn the other operates as a pivot on which to swing said screen D aside to afford access to the valve 0.

The conical form of screen D results in having a water-chamber directly under the valve,

' and admits afree flow of screened water to the livery-chamber, preferably porcelain-lined, I

bolted through its flanges p by bolts 3 to the open flanged end of the horizontal dischargepipe B of the cylinder B; and H represents a packing strip or plate. of leather or other suitable material, secured between the flanges p q of the box G and discharge-pipe B, re spectively, and having formed in it an opening, g, corresponding with an opening in the end of the discharge-pipe B, which opening g is covered by avalve, g, which is formed by cutting the opening g, as shown.

It will be seen on removing the bolts 8 the chamber G can be easily removed to afford admission to the valve g, to repair or renew the same.

From this box or chamber G the dischargepipe I, preferably of inch pipe, extends upward, as shown, and is held to the post A by a staple, m.

Constructed in this manner the pump is simple, cheap, eflective, and durable.

A suitable strainer may be placed over the mouth of the discharge-pipe I, for straining the discharged liquid, and a metal stirrup with a thumb-screw may be used to attach a hose to said pipe.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. The combination of the horizontal receiving-box G, provided with flanges and the discharge-pipe I, the piston-cylinder B, having a horizontal portion provided with flanges, the valved packing-plate, and removable bolts 8, for securing said box, cylinder, and valve together, as shown and described.

2. The combination, with the post A and cylinder B and pipe B, of the combined strap strap a and vertical strap and step b c, as hereand foot b c, as described, whereby the cylinin shown and described. (ler is held to the post and the whole appa- 7 ratus supported on the bottom of the well or HENRY SON HUNTER 5 cistern. Witnesses:

3. The combination, with the pump-cylinder GEO. A. ORR, B and pipe B and post A, of the horizontal Jos. W. MILLER.
